When she first began her teaching career, chalkboards and overhead projectors were key instruments in the classroom.
Rebecca Newman, 54, has been teaching in Norfolk for 31 years - with the last 10 years spent as executive headteacher of the Eden Federation.
But now she is getting ready to plan holidays rather than lessons as she is set to retire at the end of the academic year.
And as Ms Newman prepares to step down, she has reflected on her time with the federation - which runs Cawston Primary, St Peter's in Easton, Hockering Primary, and Great Witchingham Primary.
She said: "There is always something new every day.
"I am going to miss the people the most - I have worked with incredible children and amazing and talented staff."
She started teaching in Swaffham for a couple of years before becoming a teacher at St Peters in Easton in 1997. She continued to move up the ladder and became executive head in 2016.
One of her favourite moments of her career has been taking the children from the four schools to sing at the O2 in London for the Young Voices programme.
"I loved singing with the children and teaching them new songs," she said.
Over the years she has seen several changes, including when teachers had to adapt to remote learning during the pandemic as well as a range of new technology entering the classroom.
But she said one thing that has changed the most has been the workload.
She said: "The role of a teacher is more than just teaching - it is the support for pupils and families, it is the safeguarding and communications with parents.
"The workload is more now."
The news was announced to parents with letters from the CEO, Oliver Burwood, and Ms Newman herself.
Mr Burwood's letter said: "I would like to thank Mrs Newman for her service and impact as Executive Headteacher.
"She has enriched children’s experiences of school over a number of years and created happy and harmonious and successful learning environments across the Federation."
